Crucial Ballistix 3200 MHz DDR4 DRAM Desktop Gaming Memory Kit 16GB (8GBx2) CL16 BL2K8G32C16U4B (Black)

I was buying a Dell G5 gaming desktop and wanted 32Gb of memory in it. It was more expensive to order it from Dell with 32Gb installed than it was to order it with 16Gb installed (2 x 8Gb) and buy a 16Gb upgrade (2 x 8Gb) from Crucial. As soon as the new computer came in, I went straight to Crucial's website and...out of stock (frowny face). When I checked Amazon, the exact product I wanted was available, and for $5.00 less than directly from Crucial ($64.99 vs $69.99).Installation was a snap (see what I did there?). It literally just clicks into the slot. When I turned on the computer's power, the memory was immediately recognized by the bios, and then by Windows. No problems, no glitches, no nothing. Perfect.

I bought this RAM for use in a refurbed HP 705 G4 that I'm using for work. The computer came with 4GB RAM, so clearly more was needed. Since this is a mass-market PC, the BIOS is going to be pretty locked down, no overclocking and no XMP support. So I needed RAM that could support lower speed JEDEC profiles to make sure that I was getting the most out of my underpowered office PC. Some kits have RAM that might only support 2133 or 3000/3200 and nothing in between. The Crucial Ballistix supports most every 1.2v speed in addition to it's 1.35v profiles. For a gaming PC that doesn't matter much, because you're just going to either using manual settings/timings or you're going to turn on XMP and call it a day. On mass-market pre-builts, you don't get those options. So you need to pay attention to what JEDEC profiles the various kits support.

Desde que las compre mejoro el rendimiento de mi PC con una excelente calidad

I consulted my Motherboard's Manual to check for compatibility before I bought it, I read that due to the speeds 3200 Mhz I would need to enable the 3200 Mhz XMP profile in my UEFI/BIOS settings, so I powered on my system, pressed Del to enter UEFI/BIOS and found the correct XMP profile for 3200 Mhz, I enabled the "2nd" XMP profile for 3200 Mhz and saved & exited and it has been flawless ever since.I did buy a 2nd order of these the next week wanting 32 GB, I installed them and had continuous reboots, I remembered from my CompTIA A+ studies that if you install ANY NEW HARDWARE and get problems and reboots, the first thing you should do is physically reinstall the new hardware, so I took my computer system and physically removed and reinserted the new RAM and it solved the issue, no continuous rebooting, zero issues since.I have always had fast RAM so I wasn't looking for performance increase, just an increase in RAM capacity since I use VMs and design applications.

I upgraded from a single 2x8 ballistix 3000C15 kit with an additional 2x8 ballisitx 3200C16 kit during after-Thanksgiving sales. Crucial Ballistix regular-grade is typically made with Micron RevE chips and my kits met that expectation. The EVGA z3xx motherboards aren't known for broad memory support and all the non-xmp bios "auto" settings tended to be pretty high. There are also some memory timings that you just can't access with EVGA's bios. Working with a youtube video helped me set expectations and I was able to lower a lot of memory timings to what is shown in the screenshot photos at very reasonable voltages. I ran HCI Memtest out to 1000%+ one day just to be very, very confident in this overclocked setup.I would buy a kit again, because it was a great deal. A lot of folks suggest this memory kit is even easier to overclock on AMD CPUs.

I have the 2x8GB Crucial Ballistix 3200Mhz Black (BL2K8G32C16U4B).Looking in Thaiphoon Burner, I can confirm these do use Micron Rev.Es. I was able to overclock these to 3600Mhz CL16 @ 1.4v (which is the max my board can support), stable, using Ryzen DRAM Calculator 1.7.3 on my ASRock B450M Steel Legend.If you're willing to sacrifice RGB for performance and not sacrifice performance for RGB, I'd HIGHLY recommend these especially for the price of $73.99 at the time of writing this review.EDIT 6/26/2020:I was able to tighten the timings on this from 16-19-19-19-38 to 16-16-19-16-32. I'm almost certain you can get 3600Mhz CL15 or CL14 with these. I was also able to get 3800Mhz CL16 but that wasn't stable as my motherboard only supports up to 3600Mhz.EDIT 8/7/2020:I now got these to 3733MHz CL15!In summary, this 2x8GB 3200Mhz CL16-18-18-36 Crucial Ballistix kit was overclocked to 3600Mhz CL16-16-19-32.- Uploaded new AIDA64 Mem benchmarks with new timings- Added image of current timings

Pros - Well built and the heat disperser is quality aluminum and the overall product is great value for the price.Cons - extremely hard to post at 3200, tried on 2 different computers and anything above 2600 would crash the computer. Finally stable at 2600 but windows is only using 13.9 GB the other 2GB set as reserved.Not overly happy and could not recommend.

The best in the market.
